Escondido getting Black Angus, Chick-fil-A

Proposed new restaurants go before Planning Commission Tuesday

ESCONDIDO  Proposals for two new restaurants --- a Black Angus and a Chick-fil-A --- will be presented to the Escondido Planning Commission Tuesday night.

The Black Angus would be built in the parking lot of Westfield North County mall near On the Border. The Chick-fil-A would replace a vacant La Salsa restaurant in the Escondido Promenade mall at Valley Parkway and Interstate 15.

City officials didn't provide estimates of when the new restaurants would open.

The 8,000-square-foot Black Angus would include a bar and outdoor seating.

The 2,900-square-foot Chick-fil-A would fill a vacancy that's been conspicuous since La Salsa closed in April 2012.

The Planning Commission meets at 7 p.m. in City Hall, 201 N. Broadway.
